( Sorry previous chapter was a little short ಥ⌣ಥ )
Melissa ( Pov )
???? date & time
A little girl who was just 6 or 7 years old was playing with a bunch of friends inside the village.
The village was prosperous and lively with people chatting and laughing here and there, it was "Mard Village ".
One of the lands was ruled by Count Fredrin ( lòng's father ).
When A noble comes to mind, you may probably think corrupt, arrogant, abusing power, lusting over other girls, etc...
But Fredrin wasn't like that, he didn't become rich by increasing the tax or looting the commoners.
He was someone who introduce trade and other various ways to make money for common people who could hardly earn their meals.
It was he who brought prosperity to his land but it's not always good when Fate has planned something else.
....
Their village was invaded by wild monsters and demonic beasts destroying everything in sight.
Arghhhh!
Save me!
Call the soldiers!
Help!
Many people scream for help but demonic beasts took charge forward.
Destroying villages and killing innocent citizens.
People thought God have abandon them but a mysterious child suddenly came killing thousands of beasts.
Yes, it was none other than the previous Lòng, he have sneaked out of the castle with a few of his knights.
Even though he was just a little child he shows great courage and fought against many vicious beasts.
"Remember me, I am a child of Light and eraser of darkness Von D Lòng ..... You darkness shall perish here right now in flames of my magic "
Despite being just a regular mage with 5 basic elements he shows great abilities killing various wild beasts and demons.
But!
a small mage who is just five years couldn't hold against all fierce beasts and demons as he has limited mana.
With the sacrifice of 3 of his loyal knight, they finally bought enough time for reinforcement to arrive.
The knight of the Count's territory shows great power slaying all remaining wild beasts and demonic beasts.
...
The scene of a brave boy killing hundred and thousand of the beast was seen by a small girl who was playing inside the village.
It has left a huge impact and image on her heart as she looks at his handsome face shining.
However, it was not only seen by Little girl someone else was also looking at him.
*****
Abyss...
"Hohoho* ... hahaha*.....I didn't know what it is and how it is but this boy seems a potentially dangerous threat "
A Demon with two large horns sitting on a throne made from the skull of the dead was looking at a crystal.
In that crystal, the heroic deed of Lòng was shown...
Just aside from it, there was another crystal showing a small kid with black hair and eyes who look similar to alan but smaller and was crying near the girl.
"hahaha....it seems Goddesses of light made a blunder... Giving the Destiny of Hero to some crybaby than a heroic kid " he laughs as he says those words...
"Hahaha...haha haha.....hohoho* " he laughs like a maniac looking at Lòng.
"Since you weren't chosen don't blame me, kid, if you wanna blame someone, blame Goddesses of light "
As he mutters those words, he points his finger at the crystal where the shining face of Lòng with tears in his eyes was shown.
"CURSE OF DEATH - SOULLESS BODY "
He cursed the Lòng with a death spell.
*****
Since he was in the abyss he couldn't descend into the mortal world to kill a hero or others so, he could only watch over mortals from Abyss.
However, recently he received a "Law changing Order- Paper"
With this, he could change one law in the mortal world so, he used this paper to curse Lòng with Death.
He could curse Alan but he was destined to be a hero so, cursing him would come with a great price but Lòng was just a mortal in eyes of the Gods.
So, As the demon God 'Satan' he cursed Lòng who could become a great threat to the demon race than Hero 'Alan'.
...
Death Curse - Soulless body
Info: This curse slowly weakens the soul power making the 'Victim' lose his powers slowly and when the Soul power is gone, the 'Victim' dies.
Purification: Can't be purified, Even forcefully purified the victim can die immediately.
Exclusive characteristic: Victim can't resurrect.
******
After a few years, Melissa became a fine woman and enrolled as a knight at the age of 11.
Showing strong progress she was assigned as Young Lord Lòng personnel knight.
Lòng was her idol and sweetheart who occupied a special place in her heart.
She was very happy when she was assigned as Lòng's personnel knight.
However, on an unfaithful day, the land of the count was once again attacked by demons.
This time Lòng was just 12 years old while Melissa was 13, despite them being 12 and 14 in the fantasy world they were adults.
However, unlike before Lòng was weak because of the curse, he was weaker than when he was 5 years old.
And in this attack, Lòng blocked a fatal attack aimed at Melissa from the demon.
This further made his soul power weaker, which made Melisaa's loyalty and desire to protect Lòng increase.
